I followed Kellie's instructions (so pop over there for the recipe) with just a couple minor tweaks:

I used Easter m&m's (that was probably obvious),

and plain vanilla candy melts,

and 2 full bags of popcorn,

***update*** I now use homemade popcorn, not microwave (click here for how to make perfect popcorn on your stovetop)

and added....

...Sprinkles!

Here's my #1 tip for making Bunny Bait....

GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!

This stuff is highly addictive. Bag it up and....Put it in your kiddo's lunchbox. Send it to kiddo's teacher (Hi, Mrs. P!). Run it over to the neighbors. Send it with your hubby to work.
{And if your hubby is concerned about handing out something called "bunny bait" to his colleagues, tell him "Candied Popcorn" will work just fine.} ;)

OMG!BUNNY~BAIT!I'm passing out...truly...passing out over the CUTENESS!I'm so BORING!I think I'm going to tell my NUTRITIONIST I can't LIVE in the NUTRITION world!I would LOVE to nibble on this for dinner~dessert at night!This is beyond adorable!LOVE the gingham ribbon!Love everything about this.I am just in awe at how CUTE!Love it....love you!xo

oh wow! I am totally making this tonight to bring to my co-workers tomorrow! I was going to make cupcakes or cookies but this is so cute and is way easier than baking and decorating sweets!Thanks for sharing :)

It really is that good isn't it. I made it for my daughters birthday party and thought the moms were going to eat it all before the kids could have any. Your is too cute with the sprinkles and calling it bunny bait now that is sinkin' cute.

Oh I have to make that...I have to make that right now...what story can I come up with that can get me out of the house to target to buy supplies? I should mention I am already wearing pajamas...But I HAVE to make this..

you have sparked another idea... i am going to make this recipe but with regular multi colored m&m's, then add that "you're a POPular teacher" free printable as a bag topper and use it as teacher gifts this year. thanks for the spark!!!amy fenster brownwww.brownsugarbaking.com

Once again, I knew you'd have something wonderful this week. I'm going to make this with two grand daughters coming to town tomorrow. Your presentation is perfect. Love-love the ribbon you chose. ~Molly

Absolutely love this - my two little girls and I just made it a few minutes ago. :-) I used stove popped popcorn and I couldn't find any Wilton candy melts at Kroger yesterday (and didn't have time to run to Michael's, etc.), so used a log of vanilla flavored almond bark. Turned out super! My only problem was the m&m's started melting on me (separating shell from chocolate). I think next time I try I'll freeze the m&m's first to prevent? Thanks for a super Saturday before Easter project...let the sugar overload begin! ;-)

I have been making this for years just without the m&m's - I make it throughout the year & use different sprinkles to coordinate with the current season or holiday. I don't mix the sprinkles in, I simply sprinkle them on after I have spread the popcorn out on wax paper to dry.I've also made it with peanuts & raisins mixed in & it's pretty good.Anyway, I'm going to have to try it with m&m's next time I make it.

I made this for a cook out and for my family Easter gathering over the weekend. I was very short on time and had no time to bake. This came out perfect!! And it is addictive. I added tiny pretzel sticks to stretch it and add a bit more salt. I also used the tray of vanilla flavored candy coating from the grocery store and it worked just fine. It only took the time to open the bags and microwave the popcorn and candy coating.

LOVED this. Made this for my niece and nephews, and it was delicious. I added a box of butter toffee Crunch 'n Munch and used non-pariels instead of confetti sprinkles (because that's what I had on hand in spring colors) and it was SUPER good, and SUPER cute! Thanks Bridget!
